At the end of the year, there is a Top Dog, Top Bitch and Top Puppy for every breed, this is often then published in the Dog
Show Paper 'Our Dogs'. If your dog
is Reserve Top Dog for example but the Top Dog of the year is not a member of the EMDA, the award will then go to your dog as the award is only eligible for members.

You will be able to keep the award for up to 12 months where it should be returned to a member of the committee in the condition
it was received. Diposits will be take.

Applications should be sent to the Secretary together with the remittance, where they will be put before the committee for
approval.
